   From the perspective of the aborting H, if we consider how the behavior   
   would change if H were redesigned not to abort, we have to conclude   
   that the D test case would thereby be redesigned not to terminate. And   
   furthermore that H(D) wouldn't return, so the revised D doesn't even   
   reach the "do-the-opposite" code. (Of course, those are a different H   
   and D that must be given different names.)   
      
   I don't agree with what you are reading into that; but the statement   
   Sipser supposedly agreed wth doesn't actually read anything into   
   anything.
